MISCELLANY
Mkl Was lif
Some years ago I spent a tew weeks at the
Mauritius. I have shared in many moving in
cidents by sea and laud since then, yet I still
remember with delight the moment when I
first was made aware, of the proximity of that
lovely isle. We had made the land at night,
after a disagreeable steam voyage from the
Cape, and as we could not enter Port Louis
during the darkness, we lay to under the lee
of the land. The sea bad become smooth;
there was little or no motion; so opening our
narrow scftttles, we allowed the heated, pent
up atmosphere to escape; and oil! with what
an ecstacy 1 regaled my long-suffering senses
with the balmy, perfume-laden air winch blew
fentiy, and so sweetly, from that hidden shore.
never see the island on the map, 1 never hear
it spoken of, without recalling it.
But there is another recollection connected
with the Mauritius which is still more vivid 1
than the one 1 have mentioned, and it was ot
this that I was more particularly thinking
when I commenced my story.
. I do not know a more delicious island than
this sell-same Mauritius. To a visitor it is
full of charms, of which—happier than the
reaident, who is generallv a victim to ennui—
he has not time to become weary. My time ;
there was passed most agreeably, I iiad dis
covered one or two old friends, ami made sun- ;
dry acquaintances, principally among the mil
itary, so that there was no lack of hospitable
entertainment. In the ttrst instance, howev
er, belbre I kuew that I had a single friend up
on the island, I had taken up my quarters at
the Hotel d'-, which had the reputation of !
being then, as it possibly may have the repu
tation of being now, the best in Port Louis.
I like these tropical lintels. No heated,
close coT'e-room-, |>ermeated witli that indes
cribable flavor, towards the support of width
an unceusing contribution lias been levied on
the animal and vegetable kingdom for. it mav
be, a quarter of a century. No dingy, musty,
up-three-pair-of-stdrs bed-room, which the
unhappy bachelor enters with a shudder, and
vacates with the satisfaction of an escaped
convict. Here all is bright and cheerful.—
There is no luxurious furniture, it is true; but
the doors and windows are thrown wide open,
and through them enters the greatest of all
luxuries, fresh air. The walls are unpapered, j
but the whitewash forms a pleasing contrast
to the dark, dry, polished floor; and though I
tables may not groau beneath th» glorious sir- |
loin, or display a very remarkable amount of
plate, the whiteness of the cloth is dazzling,
and a variety of fruits and flowers for an em
bellishment which, to a “nature-loving eye,”
leaves nothing to be desired. Added to all
this, there is an emancipation from the solita
ry system and, as on the continent, people
eat, drink, and talk, cheerfully and sociably to
gether.
From a salle a manger, possessing all the
advantages I have just described, a wide and
well-lighted staircase took me to my bed-room,
and as the incident I am about to relate oc
curred iu it, I shall be particular in its descrip
tion. It was a room about twenty feet long,
by twelve or fourteen broad, lighted by a sin
gle window at one end. and entered by a door
at the other, at the extremity of the side wall,
on the right hand side, (as you stood within
the room facing the window.) Folding-doors
in the centre olT the opposite side wall commu
nicated witii another room, a double-bedded
one—but as this room was in the occupation
of a French married couple, these doors were
kept carefully locked ami bolted. . The furni
ture of ray room was. as is usually the case in
hot climates, extremely scanty. It consisted
of a small, mosquito-curtained bed, placed in
the angle of the room immediately facing the
door, so that its occupant slept with his head
against the wall, and his feel turned toward
the window. A common deal dressing-table
stood at the further end of the room, under
the wiudow, a washing-stand in the left hand
corner, near it two or three chairs, and a pier
glass ilxed to the centre ol the right hand
wall opposite the folding-doors. The.room ,
was lofty, the windows large and uncurtained;
there were no shutters, but it was fitted with
a common while roller blind. It will present
ly be seen why I have been thus minute in these
details.
I had been several days at the hotel, and
had visited most of the lions of the island. I
had made the customarv pilgrimage to the so
called tombs of Paul and Virginia in the bo
tanical gardens at Painpleiuousae, and had
willingly paid my shillings and accepted the
imposture, for the sake of chewing for a mo
ment the bitter cud of fancy, and awakening
a deeper and sadder interest in a story which,
for tenderness and pathos, has been rarely
equalled. What mattered it to me where the
dust of those poor children might truly be? I
did not even insist upon their existence as a
necessity,"but was content to look upon these
mournful urns, and conjure up, through their j
aid, the ideal forms with which they were asso
ciated—I had scrambled up the hill, at the foot
of which Port Louis lies, and enjoyed, Irom a
point not far from the eccentric projection on
its summit, called, from its resemblance to the
human thumb, “La Pouce,” the magnificent j
panorama which lay spread out lieneath: an
enchanting scene,iu which the wild luxuriance j
of tropical vegetation was solleued but not
destroyed by cultivation, and the disturbing j
fg eyes, among the mixed races with whom
now for the Hist time was brought in con- '
ta:t: natives of various colors and castes from :
India; negroes who seemed to vie with eacli ;
other in ugliness, and Chinese whose industry I
and energy, shrill voices, tnerry laugh, and pe
culiar dress, marked them at once as a people
of higher capabilities than were possessed by
the representatives of any other part of Asia,
who had sought to better their fortunes in the
Mauritius. I had seen and done all this, and
much more, within the first few days of my i
arrival, and it may readily be supposed that, i
as each night came, I was quite ready to rest
my weary limbs upon my clean and comlorta
~ blc bed.
It was the fourth day. A long and dusty,
though pleasaut afternoon ride, had made me i
more than usually tired, so that I retired to 1
my room soon alter ten o'clock. Having un
dressed, I fastened my door, as my habit is in
a strange hotel, and putting out the light
sprung into bed, carefully closing the musqui- <
to curtains, as I did so, that I might exclude a 1
host of enemies that I knew to Ire thirsting
for my blood; they vented their disappoint- i
inent in an angry war-song, but sale nithin 1
the sheltering curtains it had a pleasant, sooth
ing sound. The last sound that, struck tny ear
was this musquito lullaby; the last sigiit that ,
caught my eye the moon-beams struggling to 1
pierce through my drawn-down blind. 1
I must have slept for some time; for how
long I knew not, nor do I know at the present
hour, when I awoke—awoke suddenly, and
with that nervous apprehension which all of us
have felt at times, without being able to ac- j J
count for it. I heard no noise, and the most
perfect stillness reigned in the hotel.
My first Impulse was to raise my head and
look anxiously arouud. The moou was shin- '
: I.. . a I ___ n . j i ... ■
--B"VV • null lit:*
light, and 1 could see every article in it with
the m >st iierfect distinctness, 1 appeared to
take in everything at a glance, but my gaze
was arrested by a single object, and I remain
ed for some moments as if spell-bound.
As has been already mentioned, the dressing ,
table stood against the window, aud beneath i
it, but somewhat drawn forward, X had placed
my open portmanteau. Kneeling in irontofl
this, in an attitude as if he had been suddenly J
disturbed while examining its contents, was a
black—not a negro, for his leatures had a dif- i
ferent caJt—dressed in a white jacket and
trowsers. He did not move, but kept his eyes
fixed steadily upon me.
No very terrible sight this, after all, it will ;
be said. A mere midnight pilferer detected
in the act. Aud so also thought I. when a few
moments wakefulness had enabled me to cast |
off a little of that strange sense ot dread which
had so oppressed me.
“A thieving servant of the house, terror
struck at detection; he must be caught aud
brought to justice.”
Acting upon this Idea, I thrust aside the
curtain and jumped out of bed. As I did so,
the kneeling figure arose—slowly, steadily_
still keeping Ills eyes fixed on me, with a calm
and mournful, rather than an alarmed expres
sion. Rushing forw ard, shouting “lTn voleur,
unvoleur!” I advanced so close to the sup
posed culprit—who now stood erect—that I
stretched out my hand to seize him; hut,
eluding my grasp, he sprang past me, and dis
appeared behind the tied. Then, indeed, I
was sorely puzzled, lor, on hastening to the
spot, neither door nor traces of an opening
were to he discovered, and all my feelings of
nervous apprehension came back with renew
ed violence.
Meantime the French gentleman and his
wife, who occupied the double-bedded room, i
alarmed hv my cries, made anxious inquiry j
from their side of the separating doors—“Pour- '
quol criez-vous, monsieur?” in the deepest j
litres, alternated with “Pourqttoi criez-vours, !
monsieur?" in •> timid and trembling treble.
"It was a dream,’’ said I in my best French,
somewhat re-as ured by the sound of a human :
voice, and half ashamed of myself. “It was
but a dream, and 1 thought I saw a robber.
Mile, pardons.” And to the waiter, who came
to my still inside-fastened door with a light, I
said: “It was only a dream, an attrek of indi
gestion ; I ought not to have eaten snpper.”
But I kept his candle, and as lav, encouraged
by its fear-dispelling light, I asked myself the
question, “Could it have been a ghost?” I felt
quite certain that It was not the nightmare,
for the horrors of that disagreeable visitant
are dispelled by the slightest movement. It
was not the nightmare; what then could it
have been ? and divers times I made answer
to the self-asked question, “Surely it was a
ghost.” And so I fell asleep.
Years have passed away since the event I
have just related. My few days’ sojourn at
the Mauritius come hack to me at times like
the recollection of a pleasant dream. The
faces of the kind friends and acquaintances of
thuF’charming isle are but dimly pictured in
my memory; many incidents have beeu to
tally forgotten; but one black face, and every
circumstance connected with the brief inter
val of time during which my eyes rested upon
it. ate as vividly impressed upon my mind as
if it had been seen but yesterday; and still I
find myself at times repeating the old ques
tion, “Was it a ghost?”

CLEMS’ SU M M E R CURE
—AND—
Howes’ Cougli Pills,
By the concurrent testimony of many sufferers, th
fact has been established, that for the cure of
DIARKIKEA OR DYSENTERY
In persons of all ag«*, no medicine has ever come to
the knowledge of the public, that so effectually does
it work and at the same time leaves the bow els'in an
; active, healthy condition, as
CLEM’S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with
Diarrhoea or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth
er remedies are insignificant, as compared with
CLEM’S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children troubled with Canker in motitlw
r stomach, or mothers suffering from nursing sore
mouth, a safe and speedy cure is effected by the use of
CLEM’S SUMMER CURE.
That for Coughs, Hoarseness and Bronchial affect
ions, there is no remedy extant that so univeissiJy
affords relief as
HOWES’ COUGH TILLS.
That for a Tightness or Wheeling in the Chest
Tains iu the side, or a long stauding Hack, the best
remedy is
HOWE'8 COUGH TILLS.
That as an expectorant and ameliorating agent !n
cases of Phthisic, Whooping Cough, aud Confirmed
: Consumption, the public have already rendered their
united verdict in favor of
HOWES’ COUGH TILLS.
_ •
CLEM’S SUMMER CURE is a pleasant, agreeable
decoction of Roots and Barks, and contains not a
, particle of Opium or Drug of any sort. It always
does good, and never does harm.
